A                 F#m       D                  A
I sat at home on Friday last waitin' for your call
  A               F#m     B                  E
Thinkin' as the hours pass were you worth it all
        A              C#
As the tears begin to fill my head
        D                 D#dim
It 's then I thought to write instead
         A      D         A          E        A
Another hit song full of heartache thanks to you

Chorus:
           E                      A
Thanks to you I'm gettin' the applause
           G#                       C#m Cm Bm A#
Thanks to you and all the pain you cause
  A                   C#
Credit must go where credit is due
      D               D#dim
So I tip my hat and I toast to you
             A       D         A          E        A
For all the hit songs full of heartache thanks to you

Days go by and weeks will pass with not a word from you
And I don't mind when people ask how's you know who
Because when the tears begin to fill my head
It's then I start to write instead
Another hit song full of heartache, thanks to you

Chorus

Credit must go where credit is due
So I tip my hat and I toast to you
For all the hit songs full of heartache thanks to you
